Icranet Press Release on MG16 Meeting ICRANet press release on MG16 meeting In this difficult time of the pandemic affecting many parts of the planet, we have taken the decision not to lose the opportunity to have the MG16 meeting online. MG16 meeting are held every 3 years since 1979. We are broadcasting the meeting from ICRA in Rome and ICRANet in Pescara. All the lectures will be steamed in ICRANet YouTube channel and made available following the meeting. This year, in MG16, 1200 participants from 45 nations are present in a weeklong meeting, from July 5 to 10, 2021. The meeting will occur start in Australasia at 6:30 CEST (Central European Summer Time), continuing in Europe and Africa and concluding in the Americas at 19:30 CEST, which will occur every day starting in Australasia continuing in Europe and Africa and concluding in the Americas with plenary sessions, public lectures, roundtables and 30 parallel session. A set of plenary lectures with some of the most distinguished international scientists, will cover topics ranging from: events in relativistic astrophysics, black holes and the quantum, cosmological models and current tensions in determination of the Hubble constant, to topics on gamma-ray bursts and black holes, to precision tests of general relativity from the ground and space, to massive stars and to the future space missions in relativistic astrophysics. These topics will include new phenomena such as fast radio bursts, observed from the largest radio telescope in China, as well as Gamma ray bursts daily discovered from the largest effort in the history of science from the ground, space and underground. In addition roundtables and public lectures will be organized including the status of the solar neutrino experiment BOREXINO, precision measurements in cosmology, the most peculiar source 170817A as well as the latest observations of our Galactic center, with the possibility of a gravitational system of dark matter alternative to the classical black hole model in Sgr A. Various Nobel Prize recipients, including Reinhard Genzel, Gerard ’t Hooft, Frank Wilczek and Steven Weinberg will animate the presentations. Particularly significant will be the attribution of the MG16 Awards 2021. The MG16 Institutional Award to the Spektr-RG, the largest X-ray telescopes, comprising the ART-XC hard X-ray telescope from the Russian Space Research Institute IKI, soft X-ray eROSITA telescope from Max Planck Institute for Extraterrestrial Physics, assembled in the space industry, the Lavochkin Association, on of the largest space industries in the world, which is located in the Lagrange point between the Earth and the Moon. These institutional awards will be attributed “for the creation of the world's best X-ray map of the entire sky, for the discovery of millions of previously unknown accreting supermassive black holes at cosmological redshifts, for the detection of X-rays from tens of thousands of galaxy clusters, filled mainly with dark matter, and for permitting the detailed investigation of the growth of the large-scale structure of the universe during the era of dark energy dominance”. MG16 Individual awards will go to • Demetrios Christodoulou “For his many lasting contributions to the foundation of mathematical physics including the dynamics of relativistic gravitational fields. Notably for: contributing in 1971, at the age of 19, to derive with Remo Ruffini the mass-energy formula of black holes as a function of their angular momentum, charge and irreducible mass. Christodoulou turned then to the study of partial differential equations and mathematical physics, to which he remained dedicated for the rest of his career. Highlights in this area include the theoretical discovery of the nonlinear memory effect of gravitational waves (Phys. Rev. Letters 1991), the monograph (1993) in collaboration with Sergiu Klainerman on the global nonlinear stability of the Minkowski spacetime, the monograph (2009) on the formation of black holes in pure general relativity by imploding gravitational waves, and the monographs (2007 and 2019) on the formation and further development of shocks in fluids.” • Gerard ’t Hooft “for his persistent devotion to the study of the quantum field theory boundary conditions at the black hole horizon”. • Tsvi Piran “for extending Relativistic astrophysics across international frontiers, a true companion in the search for the deeper meaning of Einstein’s great theory”. • Steven Weinberg “for unwavering support for the MG meetings since their inception, a true companion in the search for the deeper meaning of Einstein’s great theory”.

Beveridge, Queens and Graduate Center CUNY and Social Explorer, Inc. Lynn Caporale, Strategic Scientific Advisor and Author The following slides were presented at the recent meeting of the American Association for the Advancement of Science. This project and paper is an outgrowth of that session, and will combine qualitative data on Nobel Prize Winners family histories along with analyses of the pattern of Nobel Winners. The first set of slides show some of the patterns so far found, and will be augmented for the formal paper. The second set of slides shows some examples of the Nobel families. The authors a developing a systematic data base of Nobel Winners (mainly US), their careers and their family histories. This turned out to be much more challenging than expected, since many winners do not emphasize their family origins in their own biographies or autobiographies or other commentary. Dr. Caporale has reached out to some laureates or their families to elicit that information. We plan to systematically compare the laureates to the population in the US at large, including immigrants and non‐immigrants at various periods.

  • SHELDON LEE GLASHOW Lyman Laboratory of Physics Harvard University Cambridge, Mass., USA
    TOWARDS A UNIFIED THEORY - THREADS IN A TAPESTRY Nobel Lecture, 8 December, 1979 by SHELDON LEE GLASHOW Lyman Laboratory of Physics Harvard University Cambridge, Mass., USA INTRODUCTION In 1956, when I began doing theoretical physics, the study of elementary particles was like a patchwork quilt. Electrodynamics, weak interactions, and strong interactions were clearly separate disciplines, separately taught and separately studied. There was no coherent theory that described them all. Developments such as the observation of parity violation, the successes of quantum electrodynamics, the discovery of hadron resonances and the appearance of strangeness were well-defined parts of the picture, but they could not be easily fitted together. Things have changed. Today we have what has been called a “standard theory” of elementary particle physics in which strong, weak, and electro- magnetic interactions all arise from a local symmetry principle. It is, in a sense, a complete and apparently correct theory, offering a qualitative description of all particle phenomena and precise quantitative predictions in many instances. There is no experimental data that contradicts the theory. In principle, if not yet in practice, all experimental data can be expressed in terms of a small number of “fundamental” masses and cou- pling constants. The theory we now have is an integral work of art: the patchwork quilt has become a tapestry. Tapestries are made by many artisans working together. The contribu- tions of separate workers cannot be discerned in the completed work, and the loose and false threads have been covered over. So it is in our picture of particle physics. Part of the picture is the unification of weak and electromagnetic interactions and the prediction of neutral currents, now being celebrated by the award of the Nobel Prize.

The centre will support businesses and entrepreneurs to take innovative technologies related to high-energy physics from technical concept to market reality. The centre, at STFC’s Daresbury Science and Innovation Campus, follows the success of a business-incubation centre at the STFC’s Harwell campus, which has run for 10 years with the support of the European Space Agency (ESA). The ESA Business Incubation Centre (ESA BIC) supports entrepreneurs and hi-tech start-up companies to translate space technologies, applications and services into viable nonspace-related business ideas. The CERN-STFC BIC will nurture innovative ideas based on technologies developed at CERN, with a direct contribution from CERN in terms of expertise. The centre is managed by STFC Innovations Limited, the technology-transfer office of STFC, which will provide John Womersley, CEO of STFC, left, and Steve Myers, CERN’s director of accelerators and successful applicants with entrepreneurial technology, at the launch of the CERN-STFC Business Incubation Centre on the Daresbury support, including a dedicated business Science and Innovation Campus.

(Below:) The planned seat at Cassino da Urca (Brazil). II This brochure reviews some background facts concerning the founding of ICRANet and its current structures and then turns to the 2015 celebrations of the Year of Light and the ICRANet initiated International Relativistic Astrophysics Ph.D. program (the IRAP-PhD). It then addresses the birth of relativistic astrophysics following the first fifty years of the existence of general relativity plagued mainly by the absence of observational or experimental activity. Four events marked the onset of relativistic astrophysics: the discovery by Schmidt of the first quasar in 1962, of Scorpius X1 by Riccardo Giacconi in 1963, of the cosmic background radiation by Penzias and Wilson in 1964, and of pulsars by Jocelyn-Bell and Antony Hewish in 1967. These events led to a systematic development of the understanding of the four pillars of relativistic astrophysics: supernovae where observations of the CRAB Nebula are still relevant today, white dwarfs and neutron stars, black holes and their first identification in Nature in Cygnus X1 found by Riccardo Giacconi with the UHURU satellite based on the conceptual background developed by our group in Princeton, and finally the discovery of gamma ray bursts as the largest energy source delivered in the shortest time of any astrophysical phenomenon.
